@TweetingPietro @ContrarietiesCY Your graph can be uninformative without additional information (particularly that it does not replicate outside Italy): 1) fatality differential between vaccinated and unvaccinated, 2) increased testing (the denominator may have varied based on detection). — PolitiTweet.org

@michaelmina_lab @davidboxenhorn @DKelliher No, I was responding about rapid tests. Must be some kind of adult supervision. — PolitiTweet.org

@TweetingPietro Two mistakes. 1) Natural immunity can kill the non-vaccinated. 2) Omicron may not give you natural immunity. Vaccines do. — PolitiTweet.org

2) Note: I am not saying the pandemic will die down. I am saying that it is largely defanged thanks to vaccination. Also we are buying time with improved treatments/pills. — PolitiTweet.org

@trishankkarthik The point is not that Omicron is milder than Delta, but that it reinfects the delta convalescents AND exhibits mild symptoms in the vaccinated. — PolitiTweet.org

A positive note about the pandemic; some hope. As the saying: one nail drives out another, disease displaces disease, un diavolo caccia l'altro, ἡλῷ ἧλος ἐκκρούεται, وداوني بالتي هي الداء So Omicron + mass vaccination may gives us the chance to end that thing. Hopefully. — PolitiTweet.org

@JMoVS @mikeharrisNY Why the fuck are you arguing about notation here? In math you can write log as Zebra so long as it is consistent. — PolitiTweet.org

Perception of risk is cultural, contagion-driven. "The strange thing is that, at least for now, most participants in the crypto market, including some very large and sophisticated operators, don’t seem to care about any of the risks." https://t.co/cKm189dB0r — PolitiTweet.org

@ofer_rubin @riachi_jean @NajaHamadeh His name was יהושע but Heb later on used his Greek name "Yessu", often "Yessu ha-Notsri" to emphasis the non-Judean status. — PolitiTweet.org

@oldlevantine @LebaneseConsult @Iyadboustany @tamuke06 @riachi_jean @romytweeting I am the one who coined the term "urban Mediterraneism" (but I may have existed) to precisely separate Thalassocrats from others prone to nationalism... But Corm was indeed one of us. — PolitiTweet.org

@ldbates @HarryDCrane No, Harry is correct: that's the endoname, self-designation of the US mafia by itself. — PolitiTweet.org

@CharlesSarkis6 @Iyadboustany @riachi_jean @NajaHamadeh What the fck you didn't get in my "more Maaloula than Turoyo" and you are nitpicking? This is not abt the geography of Maaloula, but the broad separation Western-Eastern Aramaic, Yerushalmi vs Babili, etc. I despise nitpickers. — PolitiTweet.org

@riachi_jean @NajaHamadeh And Ms Hamadeh didn't realize that, although Galilean, he had to be born in Judea, something beyond a simple book entry. — PolitiTweet.org

@ThnkSlpRpt They merged. Christianity appears to have mutated to become largely a Hellenistic movement. — PolitiTweet.org

Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb

@riachi_jean @NajaHamadeh In fact he spoke Western Aramaic, not Syriac, more Maaloula than Turoyo. — PolitiTweet.org

Heuristic. At year end, if you care about people, do not send them some e-card from an automated list, with floral background, shiny ornaments and decorative internet art. Pick up the phone and give them a call. If you can't, send a real, but short, message. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @RichmanRonald: Similar to these sentiments, participating in the Technical Incerto Reading Club was fantastic. Thank you to @Sharpe_Act… — PolitiTweet.org
